StringTemplate Grammars
StringTemplate has multiple grammars that describe templates at varying degrees of detail. At the grossest level of granularity, the group.g grammar accepts a list of templates with formal template arguments. Each of these templates is broken up into chunks of literal text and attribute expressions via template.g. The default lexer uses $...$ delimiters, but the angle.bracket.template.g lexer provides <...> delimiters. Each of the attribute expression chunks is processed by action.g. It builds trees (ASTs) representing the operation indicated in the expression. These ASTs
represent the "precompiled" templates, which are evaluated by the tree grammar eval.g each time a StringTemplate is rendered to string with ToString().
